UNSPSC 50335008: Dried organic bittersweet daidai oranges

The variety of organic oranges known as organic bittersweet daidai oranges that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335008 Dried organic bittersweet daidai oranges is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The thirteen recent opportunities tagged under or near this code span school district nutrition programs, correctional facility food services, and state food procurement—but they solicit fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus), eggs, nuts, dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, prunes), and comprehensive food-supply distribution contracts. None of the posted solicitations specifically name dried daidai oranges or describe procurement of this specialty dried citrus item. School districts including Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) dominate recent activity, along with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, City of Bridgeport Connecticut, State of Georgia, and County of Santa Clara (California). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and California.

The mismatch between the code's item description and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing jurisdictions or limited real-world demand for dried daidai oranges through state and local channels. Recent opportunities center on fresh produce delivery contracts under IFBs and RFPs with response dates ranging from February through June 2026, multi-year terms with firm pricing, Buy American compliance mandates, and delivery to school nutrition programs, detention facilities, and central warehouses. Vendors pursuing this code should verify current issuing-body tagging practices and clarify whether opportunities are genuinely in dried specialty citrus or whether the code assignment reflects administrative error. If genuine procurement of dried daidai oranges exists in state and local markets, it is not visible in recent public solicitations.
